I understand this is something to do with the ESP or the like. However it flickers on when I join the motorway!. Some kind or radar is triggering it and causing the car to judder a little. This happens every time at Junc 9 M6 and Junc1 M5

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I am going to report to the highways agency and find out what it is all about.

The esp on flickers when your tyres lose tracion... and its the esp cutting the power from the engine to enable you to regain traction.

So my guess is it's a corner your going around slightly too fast, or there could have been a spillage on that section of road... or even a grid can cause it.

Hope that helps

That is a big help in that I didn't realise that it was to do with the traction control. I was puzzled as to why it only does it only at these two motorway junctions. I'll have a good look at the road surface etc next time. Maybe there are grid markings on the road causing it.
